I have some stories of bad therapists and bad teachers, even professors. Bad doctors too. I think we all have those stories. The hard part for us all, is how to process that horrible encounter so that we don't let it become a stereotype we put on everyone else in that profession. One bad apple does not mean the entire bunch is bad.

So, take comfort knowing that we've all been there.
Yes, I know this... but I've had more bad therapists than good. Maybe I just have bad luck, but in general I think there are a lot of bad therapists out there.
